I initially made no secret of my hobby, and took some kidding from a few kids in Elementary school. Ironically, the father of one of them worked for a railroad. Consequently, as I progressed to Jr. High and High School, I played my interest closer to the vest, being kind of selective about who I let it on to. By that time, no one was kidding me, but I was cautious anyway. There were a couple of other kids from school who "had trains", but I am the only serious modeler to emerge from that group. I did get some vindication many years later, when at my 20th High School reunion, one of my classmates (Not one of the antagonists) asked me if I was still into trains. When I replied in the affirmative, he said: "You know, we all thought that was kind of cool". (Why couldn't they admit it back then???).
